Olivia's POV
"Lily's got her heart set on joining the Dawn Pack. Alpha Justin is so angry that he's in the hospital now. I doubt even if she groveled, she couldn't get into the Dawn Pack!"
I gave Hannah a faint smile and said, "Don't be so sure about that."
People like Alpha Justin, who's all about the bottom line, might just let Lily in one day.
But what does it have to do with me?
Nothing. Really.
I pushed my chair back, got up, and headed to my room as Hannah called after me, "Hey, Olivia. What's up?"
"Get changed. I'm heading to work."
I'd taken a day off yesterday, missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Hannah, the lady of leisure, found my words boring.
She, with all her free time, couldn't grasp the joy of working.
I came out dressed and saw Hannah still there, tsking, "Why are you still here?"
"Your guest room bed is super comfy. I'm catching some Zs before I go. Alpha Zander woke m
Olivia's POVMy words made Emily's face stiffen for a moment.But she recovered quickly.After a slight intake of breath, she spoke again, "Alright, maybe I've misunderstood you."She continued, "Let's talk about the apology. Could you please let us off the hook this time? Lily is very unstable right now. You might not know that she became a vegetative state to save Alpha Marsh, lying in a hospital bed for nearly five years. Before she went into surgery, Alpha Marsh personally promised her that he would mate her. But now that she's back and lucid, she found out you were once Alpha Marsh's mate, which made her think wrongly and lie about you."Emily's expression changed slightly as she went on, "Besides, why Alpha Marsh made you his mate back then, I think you know very well. The past is the past. Now, you and Alpha Marsh have separated. You don't need to be stuck in the past. Lily did wrong, but the doctor said she has depression. Please understand
Landon's POVSoon, Wendy led me upstairs."Ms. Johnson," I said.I have been Alpha Justin's Beta for over twenty years, so I couldn't help but carry a bit of his condescending pride in my voice.Olivia let out a light hum. "Landon, the honor is all mine with your visit."Alpha Justin used to look down on Olivia. That somewhat influenced me.Even though Olivia's status has changed. She's no longer the person she was before, but we were used to belittling her.So, my attitude towards her now wasn't much better.Olivia used to treat me with great respect. It was the first time she's spoken to me in such a manner.A wave of dissatisfaction welled up in my heart. But thinking of Alpha Justin's instructions, I suppressed myself. "Ms. Johnson, Alpha Justin needs you now. Go with me."Olivia looked at me. The smile on her face faded instantly. "Landon, you certainly have a way with words. You're in my company now and you
Alpha Marsh's POVI had just finished the meeting when I saw Jeffrey standing at the door, looking at me cautiously.I gave him a cold look and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter?""Mr. White just called me. Alpha Justin wants you to return to the Dawn Pack immediately."I glanced at Jeffrey, "I see."With that, I stepped over and entered the elevator.I had a pretty good idea why Alpha Justin wanted to see me.I had anticipated part of it, but not the other."So you're saying you want me to mark Olivia again and let her continue to be the Luna of the Dawn Pack?" I asked in surprise.Alpha Justin glared at me, "Why? Do you really want that Lily to become the Luna of our Dawn Pack? She doesn't even have the bloodline of a Beta."I naturally had no intention of mating Lily. But I thought it was absolutely impossible to mate with Olivia again."Let's not discuss the new Luna for now. What you said about me re-
Olivia's POVLandon's visit was nothing more than a small episode to me.I didn't take his words from Alpha Justin seriously.After all, I was Alpha Marsh's mate for three years. I could guess some of Alpha Justin's thoughts.Compared to that, I cared more about the bidding plan for the land we were bidding on tomorrow.I rejected the plan proposed in the meeting just now. Morgan didn't dare to oppose me as he used to.I was the daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. The entire Wonder Group was affiliated with the Red Moon Pack. Alpha Hunter had only me as a daughter.That is to say, I am the future helmsman of Wonder Group.Who dared to ignore my words now?The plan was sent back, and the relevant departments immediately started working on it.I was flipping through some documents. I was originally planning to have lunch after reviewing the remade bidding plan.However, what came faster than the biddi
Olivia's POV"Thank the Moon Goddess, you finally came back to me, my love," my mate cooed to Emily Brown.Today, my mate Marsh Walton was officially crowned the Alpha of the Dawn Pack.Right after he swore to make the pack thrive before all shifters in the pack square, he took Emily's hand, confessing his love for her.Everyone was stealing glances at me, talking in whispers. The awkward tension was almost palpable.I froze on the spot, staring at the "love birds" in disbelief.Because I was Marsh's mate and Luna! I should've been the one sharing the moment of glory with him!"You okay, Luna Olivia?" Marsh's Beta, Jeffrey Sanders, shot me a concerned look.I forced a smile, telling him I was fine.Only the Moon Goddess knew I was bleeding inside.Of course I wasn't okay! My mate was acting all lovey-dovey with another she-wolf at his accession ceremony!I walked over to the table and grabbed a glass of red wine, trying to drown my sorrows.The bitter taste of alcohol spread in my mou
Olivia's POVLying on the floor, I felt utterly helpless. Luckily, the pain soon subsided.Tears started to cloud my eyes as a deep sense of betrayal washed over me.Despite it being my first time feeling the pain, I knew what caused it—my mate had been staying by Emily's side, probably acting intimately.Just like how Emily kissed Marsh earlier today.In the werewolf world, when your mate snogged someone else after marking and claiming you, you'd experience such intense pain.It was like an alarm from the Moon Goddess.If they got physical, I could be in for even worse torture.I'd heard cases of werewolves who got weak and ended up losing their wolves because their mates had cheated on them.If I kept turning a blind eye, it was only a matter of time before that tragedy befell me.Making up my mind, I made my way to the bathroom and freshened up.When I stepped out, Beta Jeffrey approached me, saying, "Luna Olivia, Alpha Justin wants you to meet him in the reception room.""Where's
Olivia's POVThe heavy iron gate slowly slammed shut behind me.The thud of metal echoed in the basement, like a final verdict on my fate.Chill air rose from the ground, sending shivers down my spine as goosebumps rose on my skin.Just when I thought I was gonna be alone in the dark forever, I heard footsteps approaching.Beta Jeffrey showed up holding a dim oil lamp, the flickering light dancing on his stern face.I looked up at him, a glimmer of hope welling up inside me."Jeffrey," I called out, my voice echoing in the empty cell, "you know I'm innocent, right?"He avoided my gaze, a helpless look on his face."Luna Olivia, I..." he hesitated, clearly torn between loyalty and justice."Please get me outta here," I pleaded, my voice shaking a bit. "This isn't right."His eyes showed sympathy, but it was soon replaced by determination."Luna Olivia, I'm sorry, but I can't defy the Alpha." His voice was low, laced with a hint of helplessness.And just like that, I was left alone in t
Olivia's POVI froze, unable to believe what I just heard."Could you be more ridiculous? If it weren't for me, he would've been more severely injured, idiot," I shot back, my voice dripping with sarcasm.Emily wrapped her arms around Marsh's waist, her head resting on his chest."Marsh didn't need you. They were just about to kick those nasty rogues out before you got here," she choked out, yet her gaze at me was defiant."I said that to you because I was worried about Marsh. Why did you humiliate me?"I glanced over at Marsh, hoping he would defend me. After all, I had just saved him.If I hadn't lunged at that rogue, he would be suffering from more than just a shoulder wound.Yet, there wasn't a hit of gratitude in his eyes, only anger and disappointment.Facing all shifters from the Dawn Pack, he snapped in a cold voice, "Olivia, you're still grounded, yet you ran out without my permission and even caused chaos during the battle."I stared at him, rage boiling inside me."I did al

Olivia's POVAfter posting on Twitter last night, I went to sleep. I knew full well that the internet would be in chaos when I woke up this morning.When I woke up today, I felt much better.I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls, one from Blanche and one from Wendy.My WhatsApp was also filled with unread messages, mostly about the posts.Blanche initially sent text messages. But about an hour later, after probably seeing my new Twitter, she sent several voice messages, then.I couldn't help but smile helplessly. Last night, I was provoked by Alpha Marsh and, coinciding with a cold, my reaction was a bit slow. I didn't think it through and posted on Twitter.Hunter and Blanche are aware of the situation now.Last time when we went to the Dawn Pack, they were still polite. But only a few days later, Lily showed up to falsely accuse me.Hunter was furious when he heard about it and immediately asked his assistant
Alpha Marsh's POVI didn't expect Lily to make such a request. I couldn't help but frown.It was Lily who pushed me away, saving me from the car accident.But I never considered making her my mate.I never said that what she did was unnecessary. As an Alpha, my wolf would have me dodge the danger at the speed of light.Saying that would make me seem heartless.Perhaps seeing my continued silence, Lily couldn't help but speak up, "Alpha Marsh, have you fallen for Olivia?""No.""Then why don't you mark me? Why don't you make me your mate?""Because I don't like you.""If Olivia is your second chance, would you mark her again?""No.""Olivia won't be your second chance either, Alpha Marsh. I can tell she truly doesn't want to love you anymore."I glanced at her.Lilly said this with a strange, triumphant smile, looking at me.I didn't know what made her think she won. I didn't know
Olivia's POVThe voice on the phone recording was indeed Lily's."Ms. Johnson, hello, this is Lily. I truly had no idea about Marsh marrying you as a shield, but regardless, this whole thing started because of me, so I should still apologize to you. Ms. Johnson, are you listening to me?"This statement might sound innocent, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something off about what Lily said.Perhaps because I remained silent, Lily also paused for a few secon
Olivia's POV"The villa in Elephant Hill, if I remember correctly, should be worth over 90 million dollars now, right? The apartment in Cloud Garden should also be worth over 30 million dollars. Your asset appreciation in the past three years, even if calculated at 3%, would be at least 4 to 5 billion dollars. Rounded up, that's at least 150 million dollars. So, all in all, you have given me at least 300 million dollars."You are so generous."Marsh frowned, "I know you're not willing to accept this."
